Dental party left Chattanooga yesterday
evening in heavy rain. The PROCESSION

ceded the presidential party from Nash

suit was the two professions got badly
mixed, and in the gathering darkness the
Presidents party followed the Governors
procession, which conveyed them with
much pomp way in the rain toward an
other quarter Of the city. When
the President discovered the mistake
his carriage made it's way on its
sand people gathered at the station to wit
uniformly voted the Democratic ticket
the crowd and held out his hand saying,
"God bless you, Masss Cleveland; var
my man" The President shook the old
fellows hand cordially. As the train sp-
preached Atlanta the event was heralded
by innumerable rockets and red lights ey-
erywhere and the booming of cannon. 1t
was II 80 when the party alighted. They
were greeted by countless throng Of
humanity. Governor Gordon and sew
ersl companies OF military escorted the
party to their quarters at the Kimball
House.
